Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan have been friends for a long time, way beyond just being a director and actor. They’ve worked together on famous movies like “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,” “My Name Is Khan,” “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham,” and “Kal Ho Naa Ho,” among others. Their bond has become more like a family than a professional relationship. In a recent interview, Karan Johar shared a touching story that shows how strong their friendship is. Here are three instances that highlight their extraordinary friendship:
When Shah Rukh Khan Had Karan’s Back
Imagine this, during the “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” shoot, Karan receives a threat from some underworld figure, asking to delay the movie. But who comes to the rescue? Shah Rukh Khan, my friend! He’s all like, “I’ve got you, man, I’d take a bullet for you.” That’s when you know this friendship is unbreakable.
When Shah Rukh Khan Worked for Free
In an earlier chat, Karan reveals that Shah Rukh Khan did a cameo in his film “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” without charging a dime. Plus, he worked for free for 18 days on “Brahmastra.” That’s some serious friendship right there.
When Karan Johar Called Aryan Khan His Godchild
These two are close to each other’s families, no doubt. In an interview, Karan even mentions that Shah Rukh Khan’s eldest kid, Aryan Khan, is like his godchild. He’s all like, “I’ll guide him if he wants to get into the movies, and I’ll even help launch his career.” That’s some mentorship promise, my friend.
Their friendship is just filled with heartwarming stories, and Shah Rukh Khan, he’s quite the joker, you know? He always pokes fun at Karan, especially when it comes to their ages. He says, “We were just kids when we started all this, well, at least I was.”
